first its a 2000 sliverado 1500 9" of lift 35" tires, 4.56 gears, Ls1 electric fans, long tube headers, transgo hd2 shift kit, vette servo, k&n intake, 40,000 gvw tranny cooler, comp 918 valve springs trailblazer SS torque converterim.... sure im forgetting something......pretty much its full bolt ons except underdrive pullies......

I have a 221/221 with 112 lsa with like a 586 lift which is a lot but anyway I got Allen at Futral to make for me and I was looking for what you want and got it. I wanted to have some lope but nothing too bad and this was pretty good but the only complaint I have is I was hoping it would have a little more power but besides that im satisfied.

In a heavy truck, you want to avoid to large of a cam that is going to lack low end to get you going. I would say something in the 216-220 range on both intake and exhaust and .550 lift on a 114lsa.

you can definitly go higher that .550 unless you are avoiding a spring swap
